Remotes and wall switches
Remote and switch faults can sit anywhere between the handset and the valve. The receiver has its own batteries, may have a slide switch with a remote setting, and has to be paired with the handset. A wall switch on a millivolt unit carries only a small voltage, so a corroded contact or a loose wire stops it.
We test each piece of the Clay Hill setup in order, handset, receiver, wiring and valve, and replace only the piece that fails the test. The failed piece is written up with the test that caught it. Get on our Clay Hill gas fireplace schedule at (904) 920-5495, or use the short form.

How It Works
Plate, readings, part, test burn
-
Rating plate read, fault watched
The plate gives the maker, the model and the gas, and we watch the unit try to do what you called about.
-
Meter and manometer readings
Thermocouple, thermopile or flame rod output and the gas pressures are checked against the maker's chart.
-
Listed part fitted, leak checked
The failed part is replaced from the maker's list, and every connection opened gets a leak-detection solution.
-
Burner, logs and vent set right
Ports are cleaned, the logs go back on the diagram and the vent is checked before we light it with you.
Local Conditions
After a long idle season in Clay Hill
A gas fireplace that has sat unused for months can have spider webs in the pilot tube and dust on the burner ports. The pilot then burns weak or will not light.
Clearing the pilot and the air openings is often the whole repair on units in Clay Hill.

Flame sensing on electronic ignition
Electronic-ignition units prove the pilot with a flame rod rather than a thermocouple. The module sends a small current through the flame to the rod and back through the ground, and only when it sees that current does it open the main valve.
A rod with a coating of oxide, a cracked ceramic insulator, a loose ground wire or a pilot flame that no longer covers the rod can each break that path. The maker's flow chart asks for a steady blue flame covering the rod. We clean or replace the rod, restore the ground and adjust the pilot to match.
When the gas valve itself has failed
A gas valve is replaced only after the parts around it test good. If the thermocouple produces a healthy reading and the pilot still drops out, or the thermopile and the switch circuit test good and the main burner will not open, the valve is the remaining suspect, and the maker's chart says so. The replacement comes from the maker's list for that model and gas type. Once it is in, the connections are leak-checked with solution, inlet and manifold pressures are read against the rating plate, and the unit is taken through a full lighting cycle before we leave.
Receivers, handsets and pairing
Remote-controlled gas fireplaces have a receiver near the valve, which may run on its own batteries and carry a switch with on, remote and off positions. The receiver and handset are paired with a learn button, and on some models a battery change or a power loss can unpair them.
On millivolt units the receiver works like a wall switch in the thermopile circuit. We test the handset signal, the receiver output at the valve and the batteries under load, and replace only the part that fails. A receiver from another model is not substituted, since the pairing and the valve connection are specific to the system.

FAQ
Gas fireplace questions from Clay Hill
Do you service propane gas fireplaces?
Yes. Propane units use the same controls with different orifices and pressures, and we confirm the gas at the rating plate first. The tank and supply piping are the propane supplier's.
Will you replace the thermocouple without testing it?
No. We read it with a meter in place first, because a weak pilot flame or a valve fault can cause the same symptom. The estimate shows the reading next to the part.
